Workbench suggestions

Anyone got a recommendation for a decent workbench for my triple? Needs to have the bike roll on at ground level then raise it up, and preferably with some kind of brace for front/back wheel.

Just something decent, not for a World Championship bike.

Thanks

I got mine from machine mart about 7 years ago. I can't fault it. Front wheel lock and wide enough to use a rear paddock lift. A rear panel can then be removed to remove the rear wheel.

I have the same bench as Roger - a Clarke bench from Machine Mart.

I got it when they had their Vat free weekend so saved a packet. Would not want to work without one now :D

Yep, Clarke bench on a Vat free sale day. I went posh with the foot/air operation as I have shot knees, can't fault it. I also bought the over centre wheel clamp, again, excellent. Make sure you get one with a remove able plate for the back wheel, very handy

I got mine from E bay second hand. For the same price as a new Machine Mart one I got a better, stronger, one that had only been used for one bike rebuild so was pretty much as new.

The main thing to consider when choosing a bike ramp is how much space you have available.
